WSJ tonight reports that Jill Kelley had "regrets" this summer, when pressed by her socialite friends, and tried to get FBI to back off on its probe--perhaps she realized it could hurt pal Petraeus.
On Tuesday, people familiar with the case said that at one point in the
summer, after the investigation began pointing to larger potential
national security issues, Ms. Kelley tried to get the FBI to drop the
matter. The people said she made the request because she was worried
about the personal information being provided to investigators.
Ms. Kelley, a 37-year-old volunteer who organized social events for
military personnel, developed misgivings after friends in her Tampa
social circle urged her to drop the matter, saying the probe would only
cause bigger problems, the people familiar with the case said.
Ms. Kelley's apparent regret points to one of the more unusual
aspects of the case: what began as a seemingly minor case of
cyberstalking mushroomed into fears that the Central Intelligence Agency
director's personal email account had been hacked, which spawned
concerns the CIA director might have passed sensitive information to his
mistress.
The there's this: "In the email received by Gen. [John]Allen, Ms. [Paula] Broadwell—writing under the
pseudonym KelleyPatrol—described Ms. Kelley as a 'seductress' and warned
the general about being entangled in a relationship with her, the
official said. A lawyer for Ms. Broadwell didn't return messages seeking
comment Tuesday."
